If you are familiar with the singsong repartee and the perhaps slightly monotonous charm of ???Ma Moto, as impersonated by Peter Lorre, you will have learned to expect from this small Japanese secret agent all that he gives you in the latest chapter of his biography, entitled “Mr. Moto Takes a Chance,” at the Globe. But there must be people in the world who never heard of Mr. Moto and for the benefit of these late comers we might as well explain, first of all, that Mr. Moto is bullet proof.

This appears to be a pretty pilot at the wheel of a plane, wearing a fabric helmet (stylish but not much protection), the straps perhaps of a parachute, and a lit torch — not in the British sense of a flashlight turned on, but an actual flaming torch!!! Can’t wait for the next installment.
